Introducing Sam Outlaw, a southern Californian singer-songwriter steeped in the music and mythos of west coast country, from the classic vibes of everything from ‘60s Bakersfield honky-tonk to ‘70s Laurel Canyon troubadour pop. With a sound that’s pleasurably past, present and future tense, Sam Outlaw’s impeccable California country music shines on Angeleno, his debut album due on June 9, 2015 on Six Shooter Records.

Hawksley Workman gets all nineteen hundred and eighties with a new video for “Don’t Take Yourself Away (Instant Nostalgia),” the first single from the forthcoming album Old Cheetah, coming June 2, 2015 on Six Shooter Records.

Interstellar Rodeo is excited to bring its unique concept of important, inimitable music paired with fine wines and high-quality local food to the heart of the city, at The Forks, August 14-16. With only one stage and a mandate to offer a sophisticated and distinctive take on the festival experience, Interstellar Rodeo is a meticulously curated weekend celebration of music, wine and food excellence.

The 2015 Interstellar Rodeo Edmonton lineup is here, and this year’s bill is both imaginative and cohesive, bursting with extraordinary talent from top to bottom. Interstellar Rodeo always aims to shine the spotlight on musical mavericks, those who blaze trails and shatter boundaries, and the 2015 lineup is no exception when it comes to artistic exceptionality.

Congrats to Tanya Tagaq for winning a Juno for Aboriginal Album of The Year for Animism.
